They updated the graphic to include HPV style vehicles that are more aerodynamic than bicycles (usually just a bicycle with an aero-shell). I am not sure why this has come up now because I have an old bicycle book my Grandmother bought for

`var` doesn't have weird scoping issues, it just different than other languages. `var` is function scoped, thus all var declarations are hoisted to the top of the function during execution. This is why the single var pattern used to be

Arguments about whether the is and switch operators should exist is missing the forest for the trees. I am sure there are circumstances where it very useful. It isn't any one language feature it is the mentality of both the develop

The issue is that I dislike the overall mentality of just adding a bunch of language features. Things just seem to be dumped in each release and I think to myself "When I am going to use that?". > Would you say that these sampl

I find there are some environments where you have a positive feedback loop while working in them. PHP is one of them, Go is another at least for me. I find many of languages I am constantly fighting with dependency managers, upgrades and al

There is a huge amount of syntactic sugar that has been added over the years that doesn't do whole lot IMO. It is often imported from other languages (usually JavaScript and/or Python). e.g. Just a very simple example to illustrat

Much like PHP, you can actually get stuff done unlike a lot of other programming languages.

I can't stand modern C#. They've bung in a bunch of new keywords and features that are of dubious benefit every release.

I never said that nobody uses Linux. I said that it was extremely uncommon even amongst developers.

The way you are using irresponsible is perverse. e.g. Being Irresponsible in this context would be remortgaging your house, while unemployed and using all the money to buy gadgets. Forgetting that you have a small amount deducted for a serv

You are the minority but you can believe whatever you like. The vast majority of developers I have worked with (and I've contracted a lot of places) know next to next to nothing about Linux. They can barely use a terminal (Powershell,

It is easy to miss a subscription for something on a bill when it is less than £30. I had a match.com subscription I had forgotten about for about 7 years. That business model is what a lot of tech companies actually bank on that why they r

I don't think there is anything wrong with liking popular things and tbh this attitude that somehow you are better because you like more niche things is very close to snobbery. I am not saying that is your intention, but it can come of

I am sure it is fine. HellDivers 2 (the game I like to play) needed a lot of messing about with to work well on Linux. It really depends on what game you are playing as to how well it works. Having the odd game that doesn't work is a

It isn't that much of an issue gaming on Windows. Yes, I had to do a one time workaround for a local account and run a de-crapifier. But it wasn't that difficult. If it becomes too difficult I will probably drop Windows entirely.

I am a die-hard Linux guy and I have to use Windows for certain things. One of those is multiplayer games. I am never buying a Mac. I've owned 4 macs over the last 20 years and I've regretted every purchase.

The 90% of games running on Linux does not say how well and what games. Sure I can play the Batman: Arkham Knight perfectly on Linux. However the game is a decade old now. Try playing some titles that came out this year and it going to be v
